Intro

When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken

 How you ever gonna keep enough

 You cant cry if you dont know how.

 When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken

 All the joy is gone from her face

 Welcome back to the human race

 How long can the flame of love remain

 When you curse and you fight

 And never see the light

 Or hear a word spoken

 When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken

(2nd verse)

When the spell is broken

All your magic and your ways and schemes

All your lies come and tear at your dreams

When the Spell is broken

When the Spell is broken

Are you handing her that same old line

It's just straws in the wind this time

When Love has died, there's none left starry eyed

No kiss and no tears

No farewell souveniers, not even a token

When the Spell is broken

(3rd verse)

(solo)

Don't swear your heart

From the very start

Love letters you wrote

Get pushed back down your throat

And leave you choking

When the Spell is broken

WHEN THE SPELL IS BROKEN- Richard Thompson

 When the spell is broken, when the spell is broken

 How you ever gonna keep her now

 You can't cry if you don't know how

 When the spell is broken, when the spell is broken

 All the joy it is gone from her face

 Welcome back to the human race

 How long can the flame of love remain

 When you curse and fight and never see like

 Or hear a like spoken

 When the spell is broken

 (can't cry if you don't know how, can't cry if you don't know how)

 When the spell is broken (can't cry if you don't know how)

 Oh when the spell is broken

 All your magic and your ways and schemes

All your lies come and tear at your dreams

When the spell is broken (can't cry if you don't know how)

When the spell is broken

Are you handing her that same old line

It's just straws in the wind this time

When love has died, there's none left starry eyed

No kiss and no tears

No farewell souveniers, not even a token

When the spell is broken

Solo

 Don't swear your heart from the very start

Love letters you wrote

Get pushed back down your throat

And leave you choking

When the spell is broken (when the spell when the spell when the spell)

When the spell is broken

When the spell is broken, when the spell is broken

When the spell is broken

Can't cry if you don't know how, can't cry if you don't know how

Can't cry if you don't know how, can't cry if you don't know how
